Summary

"DUE TO A GENETIC ENGINEERING ERROR, YOU POSSESS SUPERHUMAN POWERS." Robotron: 2084 - by Williams' 'Vid Kidz' - may not have been the first twin-stick shoot'em up, but it was perhaps the one that most clearly defined the genre template which would be followed for three and a half decades (and counting). Leon, Michiel and returning guest Dan Clark attempt to understand what makes this most challenging of games so enduringly compelling, and also enjoy a collection of your Three Word Reviews from Twitter (follow us @caneandrinse). http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_273.mp3 Cane and Rinse 273 was edited by Ryan Hamann (@InsrtCoins). Do you have an opinion about a game we're covering that you'd like read out on the podcast? Then venture over to our forum and check out the list of upcoming games we're covering. Whilst there you can join in the conversations with our friendly community in discussing all things relating to videogames, along with lots of other stuff too. Sound good?
